Project description:To gain insight into the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and signalling pathways regulating development of small follicles (SF diameter ≥3 mm to <6 mm) into large follicles (LF diameter ≥6 mm) in Ghoongroo pigs, a comprehensive transcriptome profiling of porcine follicles was conducted using NovaSeq600 sequencing platform. The DEGs were identified using DESeq2 with threshold of padj <0.05 and log2 Fold Change cut off 0.58. Functional annotations and bioinformatics analysis of the DEGs were performed to find out biological functions, signalling pathways and hub genes regulating follicular development and function.
Project description:From gestation day 75 to gestation day 90, an important stage for the placental and fetal development, the fetuses grow rapidly and need adequate nutrition. The Meishan pigs and the Large White pigs employ different ways in supplying the enough nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. The Meishan pigs increased the vascular density and the Large White pigs have the second increase in the surface of placenta. To understand the molecular basis related to late gestation placenta development in Chinese indigenous and Western breeds with different placental efficiency, samples were collected and used to hybridized. The results offered new data on understanding the molecular basis of placenta efficiency, and indicated that Erhualian pigs had the more efficient than the Large White pigs.
Project description:Analyze the raw data of the DIA proteome of the longissimus dorsi muscle of 0-month-old and 6-month-old large and small Lijiang pigs to obtain differential proteins
Project description:Three different stages of pig antral follicles have been studied in a granulosa-cell transcriptome analysis on nylon microarrays (1152 clones). The data have been generated from 7 RNA follicle pools and several technical replicates were made. Four Large, one Medium and two Small follicles pools were considered. For each follicle pool, 2 radioactive labellings were performed. Each membrane was exposed 16 hours (to avoid saturation of the signal of highly expressed genes) and 28 hours (to get some signal from lowly expressed genes). Each probe was hybridised on GPL3971 scag_scai Sus scrofa 1.2K mono array and on GPL3970 scag_scai Sus scrofa 4.6K triplicate array (except for GFS2172 which was labelled only once and hybridised onto 2 GPL3971 scag_scai Sus scrofa 1.2K mono array membranes), so that 4 spots are available for each gene (and 2 spots for GFS2172), for a given RNA and a given radioactive labelling. Keywords: granulosa-cell transcriptome analysis

Experiment Overall Design: Placenta efficiency (the body weight of a piglet divided by the mass of its placenta) of Erhualian pigs is markedly higher than Large White pigs. so placenta samples (female) from 6 Erhuanlian pregnant gilts at gestation day 75 (E75) and day 90 (E90) and 6 Large White pregnant gilts at gestation day 75 (L75) and day 90 (L90) were collected. RNAs from two female piglet placentas from each gilt were combined to 12 pools and hybridized to the porcine Affymetrix GeneChip.
Project description:The goal of this study was to compare cell composition and gene expression patterns for different cell types in large and small airways of CFTR+/+ (non-CF) and CFTR-/- (CF) pigs.
Project description:Human ovarian follicles develop a fluid-filled antrum when they reach a diameter of around 250 µm. The antrum contains follicular fluid (FF) composed of secretions from cells in the follicle and from circulation. The composition of FF undergoes massive changes in relation to follicular development. Previously, only FF from large pre-ovulatory follicles aspirated just prior to ovulation, has been analyzed by proteomics; resulting in a high proportion of plasma proteins being detected due to diffusion of proteins through the increasingly leaky basal membrane in larger follicles. We present the first proteomics analysis of FF from normal unstimulated human small antral ovarian follicles (diameter: 3-8mm) identifying the largest number of proteins reported in human FF to date: 2,050 proteins of which 1,151 were identified for the first time in human FF by mass spectrometry. Furthermore, an identified growth factor, midkine, was shown to impact follicular regulatory processes including enhancement of nuclear maturation of immature human oocytes.
